I would rather be watching four humans travelling to the moon than four aircraft carriers travelling to the Gulf.

>> free raises as the exchange rates plummet

Also developers use official exchange rate while everything is imported using market rate. 10% cut here.

>> the cost of living in Ukraine was low before the war and only got lower

This is not true. Some low skilled services are cheap, but high skilled are not.

Depends on who is shoving it. If Apple - people will happily eat everything, but not from Microsoft.

It has never been serious about security, quality and performance. Only new sloppy features. And now everyone is bragging on LinkedIn how fast they create more slop: "Look, CC generated thousands lines of code for me! Approve and merge!"
